MANILA, Philippines–Alex Eala looks to turn the tables on Linda Noskova in their semifinal showdown at the 2026 Berlin Open on Saturday.
Their match is scheduled for 8 p.m. (Manila time) at Steffi Graf Stadium.
The last time Eala faced Noskova, she absorbed a 6-2, 6-0 loss on the hard courts of Indian Wells last March.
Eala, who is enjoying a phenomenal grass-court campaign, is well aware of the challenge posed by the world No. 13 from Czechia.
“She’s a big hitter, and she’s young, but she has a lot of experience, and she’s very powerful,” Eala said of Noskova, who beat Paula Badosa to advance to the semifinals.
“My last match with her proved to be very difficult for me. So, coming into the semifinals, I hope to prepare and make some improvements and show what I’ve got.”
